If somebody was dry texting you/short texting you
Would you just give up trying to make conversation with them?

Where has the art of communicating via voice gone?
My boyfriend is a terrible texter. I can text him paragraphs and I will only receive a few words in response.
I say that he is a terrible texter because it is not only with me that he texts this way. Not to mention that we do talk a lot over the phone and in person.
You can't get mad at a person for short texting you. If they've responded directly to whatever you've asked them, what is there to be upset about?

@LithiumDrop that is true . Not about short texting really for me . I think always being the one to attempt . The voice is better over the phone . A phone call is a better form of communication

@LithiumDrop I am a terrible texter! I would much rather have a voice conversation. There is too much room for misunderstanding or not knowing what a person means or is feeling. Thus my replies are very short. I also gripe at my partner about that, because that seems to be her thing...texting, instead of v2v and I hate it. I understand when she's at work, thats fine. But if she's asking me to elaborate on something I tell her I will talk with her about it later. I don't want to text a conversation.

@sparkling I like this Urban Dictionary alternate definition for dry texting.
[i]When you text someone you know to be unreachable at that moment - so that they might know that you were thinking of them during that time.
Sarah: I know Jack won't be able to check his messages for another few hours - But I can't stop thinking about him... I'm going to dry text him
Laura: That is so sweet Sarah, maybe he won't think you're insane
Sarah: Dry texting is romantic not insane
Laura: Dry texting is totally creepy, like watching someone sleep
Sarah: Nah-ah
Laura: ah-ha[/i]

Some people don't like to text conversations. I'm one of them. Perhaps so is this person? If you've known them awhile and you're not getting emotions, perhaps the person just isn't interested and is trying to deter you? Just a thought.

I have yet to see emotion through a typed message, great authors can portray the emotions of the characters. You can use caps lock and all it means to me is you hit a button
